so dd5 has been at school almost a year now. Great supportive school - very happy over all :-)
Any way before she started I would have described her math skills as very advanced ( about 3 -4 years) since starting school she has developed a hatred for the subject and very low self esteem about it. She is struggling to keep up in class. I have spoken to the teachers several times about it and I'm assured she is fine and just needs to be certain she is right. They have suggested some at home activities but I am very concerned. When I do even the most simple math problems with her at home she can't cope. We have gone back to using manipulatives for things like 8 + 7.
I know she is visual spacial but she is slipping further and further behind. I'm so sad that her love of math has disappeared, any ideas?
